IMPROVEMENT IN REFRIGERATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 134,644. dated January 7, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL E. UONDON,0f Brooklyn, E. 1)., in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Refrigerators, of which the following is a specification:

This improvement consists in a combined refrigerator and sink, the parts being constructed and arranged so that the refrigerator is cooled by the flow of the water that is drawn at the sink, and the sink and refrigerator combined occupy much less space than the two articles separately, and I utilize the space that has heretofore been almost useless below the sink by combining therewith the refrigerator.

In the drawing, Figure l is a vertical sec tion of the refrigerator and sink, and Fig. 2 is a plan of the same.

The refrigerator-case is made of the bottom a, back b, front 0, and sides of usual size, and in the front 0 is a door, d. The flanges e of the sink f rest upon the upper part of the case, and the waste-pipe 9 passes away from the back of the refrigerator, or in any convenient manner. case with intervening water-space, similar to that shown in my patent No.132,443. The

back plate It and front plate 70 are bolted together and confine'the inner casing land outer casing m, leaving a quadrangular water-chamber with an inclosing space behind the door Within the refrigerator is a double d that forms the refrigerator. In the waterspace there are partitions, shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1, that are alternated in position for directing the water as it flows around through the chamber, as in said patent.

The supply of water is introduced by the pipe 0 and circulates through the refrigeratorcase, and thence passes by the pipe to the cock 1' above the sink. The water drawn at the sink causes the cool water from the supply-pipe to pass intothe refrigerator-case and cool any articles placed in the refrigerator.

A cock at 8 serves for drawing water directly from thetop part of the case, when desired.

A basin may take the place of the sink.

I claim as my inventionl. The water-vessel around the refrigerator, in combination with the sink or basin upon such refrigerator, and the faucet connected with the waterwessel, substantially as set forth.

2. The sink or basin permanently connected with and supported by the refrigerator, as a new article of manufacture.

Signed by me this 7th day of December, 1872.
